Chapter 528 Key Politicians and Ordinary People and the Parade Aircraft Group
After Zhu Jingyuan's enthronement ceremony, the next event was a military parade of the army and air force.
However, the scale of the preparation for the military parade of the Ming Dynasty was relatively large, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not have the tradition of parading the streets when he ascended the throne.
Therefore, the army and air force were placed on the second day of the enthronement ceremony, and the navy's ship parade was on the fourth day after the ceremony.
That is, the second and fourth days of the first month of the first month of the first year of the Great A.D.
Although those who have the opportunity to participate in the parade and watch the ceremony, they all know that there will be a big program tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
But the first night of the first year of the Avatar became a sleepless night for many people.
Every piece of news announced at Zhu Jingyuan's enthronement ceremony deserves careful analysis by political and diplomatic officials, as well as anyone who pays attention to the international situation.
It's not just foreigners who worry about and think about their future environmental changes.
There are also a group of young people in the Ming Dynasty who have a tendency to be political, and they are also very concerned about the policy orientation of the Ming court.
Now it was supposed to be the New Year's holiday.
Many "like-minded" people got together in advance to drink tea and drink wine and chat about politics.
Gong Zizhen and Wei Yuan have now become friends.
The two also got together today, listening to the radio and chatting with another fellow practitioner, Wu Zhiyuan.
Wu Zhiyuan, a native of Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, once won the championship in the short take-off and landing competition of small civil aircraft hosted by Zhu Jingyuan.
The key is that I was fortunate to have a few direct interviews with Zhu Jingyuan, who was still the prince of Dashi at the time, and also appeared in the main newspapers and magazines at that time.
He himself has the skills and brains, and now he has become the president of the Songjiang Civil Aviation Association.
However, his own thinking has not changed, and he is now a loyal reader of the newspapers and magazines of the major military and political departments.
Listening to the news on the radio today, Wu Zhiyuan said to his two friends quite excitedly:
"Your Majesty, this is to cheer up! Your Majesty is really interested in the world, but it is inconvenient to say it when you are a prince and a prince! โ
Gong Zizhen didn't react:
"Why did Brother Wu say this? Didn't His Majesty's edict say that the Grand Duke should be the name of the year and the concept and goal of the Grand Duke?
"This is the pursuit of fairness and justice, the pursuit of the world for the public, and the pursuit of the great harmony pursued by the ancients!"
Wu Zhiyuan immediately smiled and waved his hand and said:
"According to His Majesty Emperor Shizu, these are bright, great, and correct nonsense.
"It's something that is said in public to ordinary people.
It's a polite remark that is absolutely inherently infallible, but completely meaningless.
The focus is on the latter words, and the key is that the Ming Emperor has the obligation to supervise the actions of other royal families and the imperial court.
"This is to presuppose righteousness and reputation for direct interference in the kingdoms of Tessie!
"When there is some chaos in the kingdoms of Taixi, they don't even need to make troubleโ
"As long as we are ready, we can create a reason on the basis of this claim.
"For this reason, send troops to the Taixi countries, and directly and completely unify the whole world!"
Gong Zizhen seemed to be suddenly:
"That's great! You and I are really in the prime of life! It's a pity that I'm too old to join the army! โ
Wei Yuan shook his head with a smile and said:
"Hey, in the previous dynasties, conscription often had to be forcibly conscripted, and even children and the elderly were forced to go to the battlefield.
"Our Daming is good now, as long as young people around twenty years old, they are still picky.
"The Army requires literacy, the Air Force and Navy require a primary school diploma, and even a secondary school diploma to fly an airplane.
"Officers should have studied in specialized military middle schools and even universities......
When Wu Zhiyuan heard this, he said proudly:
"The eldest of my family will be able to go to university next year, and now he has decided to go to the aviation officer military academy.
"If the war breaks out in four or five years, my eldest will have a chance to fly to the battlefield in a plane."
Gong Zizhen suddenly realized, and at the same time said with a little annoyance:
"Brother Wu's child is just right, the eldest of my family is only ten years old,
"Now that our Ming Dynasty has such a big advantage, it is uncomfortable whether the war can last for five years.
"Look at the bear child...... It's really urgent......"
Wei Yuan shook his head with his wine glass:
"Brother Gong's children still have a chance, but I can't catch up with them anyway......
"But only if it ...... His Majesty really did intend to do something against the Tessie Kingdoms.
"If Your Majesty really only pursues justice, or even sincerely mediates the contradictions between the kingdoms of Taixi.
"Then we're really rejoicing......"
Gong Zizhen and Wu Zhiyuan's high emotions suddenly decreased by a few points.
Wei Yuan's reminder is indeed a reality.
Wu Zhiyuan's statement is speculation after all, whether there are any hints and preparations for what the emperor's edict says, and no one knows the truth.
But the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the former Prince of Dashi, is indeed famous for achieving peace, mediating contradictions, and pursuing peace.
Even, in the eyes of the people, the emperor's throne was mainly earned by the victory of the peace talks.
This is likely to leave the emperor with some potential habitual tactics.
Therefore, for a radical like Wu Zhiyuan, the current situation is actually not very optimistic.
Wu Zhiyuan and the three of them actually understand these truths.
After the scene fell silent, the sound of firecrackers rang out outside the window.
Today is destined to be a sleepless night, not only all kinds of political influences make politicians unable to sleep, but ordinary people also have their own thoughts and lives......
Today is first of all the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Then today is also the first New Year's Day of the Ecumenical Year.
Finally, it is the first New Year's Day of the new calendar.
The most important thing is that - today is the New Year -
The meaning of these things in real life is directly related to and mutually influencing all ordinary people.
So starting from this morning, the entire Ming Dynasty and even the whole world, almost all the people of the Ming Dynasty, as well as most of the people from other countries and ethnic groups, have started their own entertainment and celebrations one after another.
While Wu Zhiyuan and the others were listening to the radio, their children were playing in the courtyard outside.
Firecrackers rang out on the street from time to time.
At night, the sound of firecrackers becomes even more incrutable, and brilliant fireworks continue to appear in the night sky.
More Ming and ordinary people in the world actually don't care much about the so-called war, nor do they care much about various international affairs overseas.
They also heard the edict on the radio and didn't think too much, but they just thought that the emperor's grand duke year name was very good.
The idea of pursuing justice and fairness, and fighting against evil, is also good.
In addition, the current state of Daming is still prosperous, and the situation in all aspects is still prosperous.
The lives of ordinary people have undergone subversive changes compared to more than a decade ago, and now they are still continuously improving every year.
And all this is closely related to the contribution of the current Ming Emperor.
Zhu Jingyuan's prestige among the people is very high, and the people of the Ming Dynasty also have money and time to have fun.
Therefore, the people of the Ming Dynasty are sincerely celebrating the enthronement ceremony of His Majesty the new Emperor, and at the same time, they are also celebrating the New Year of the new calendar determined by His Majesty the Emperor.
In the coming year, everyone's holidays will be increased again.
The sound of firecrackers and fireworks in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the feasts and celebrations in various places, lasted until the second half of the night before gradually reducing the intensity.
In fact, there are many places that are bustling until the next day.
Many people ate the next morning, rested for a few hours, and began to listen to the news on the radio.
The army and air force parades are about to begin.
The location of the military parade is in the Daming Ying Tianfu New Town, between the new three halls and the office area of the imperial court, on this huge Sheji Square.
In the middle of the square, an east-west path is set aside, and on both sides of the road are arranged with audience seats raised in turn.
The official parade begins at 10 a.m.
However, the preparations for the parade troops actually began before dawn.
Ordinary Ming people who had the opportunity to watch the parade had already arrived at the scene at dawn and found their place to wait.
The civil representatives of the Taixi countries also arrived at the scene at dawn and were arranged in a separate area.
Of course, it is not in the middle of the audience, nor is it the most marginal position, next to the representative of the Ming Domain.
The core members of the royal family of the Taixi countries, the top nobles at the level of grand dukes and princes, and the top bureaucrats at the level of prime ministers and ministers can wait in the indoor lounge area.
At half past eight in the morning, they came to the pedestal of the Fengtian Hall under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites and the personnel of the Honglu Temple.
The pedestal of the Fengtian Temple, also known as the foundation of Sheji, has a total height of more than 100 meters.
If everyone were to go directly to the top of the pedestal, it would be equivalent to standing on the top of a 30-story building to see what was on the ground.
During the parade, various chariots passed on the ground of Sheji Square, and they must not have been able to see clearly from it.
However, the foundation of the society is not a complete and integrated cuboid, it is large at the bottom and small at the top, from the bottom to the top, and is divided into four large layers from the outside to the inside.
Each floor is retracted inward by a certain distance, and at the top of each floor there are four corridors, or small terraces, that surround the Fengtian Hall building.
The height of the corridor platform on the first floor is 20 meters, which is a very suitable high-level viewing platform.
The nobles, bureaucrats, and scholars who were able to watch the ceremony on the stage of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the royal families, nobles, and bureaucrats of the Taixi countries, were also arranged on this floor.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, all the people who were able to go up to the stage to watch the ceremony were all there.
Zhu Jingyuan, as the emperor, of course, will be the last to appear.
However, at nine o'clock in the morning, Zhu Jingyuan had already changed into the emperor's dress for participating in military activities-Wu Ben uniform.
All the princes of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers of Jiuqing, the scholars and ministers of military aircraft from the first rank or above, the generals of the same status in the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the treasurers of the Huangzhuang and the consortium who enjoy the same treatment, and the top craftsmen and scholars who enjoy the same treatment and honor.
They also changed into their dresses at this time, and under the leadership of Prince Zhu Jianfeng and Great Sect Uncle Shen Fu, they came to the emperor's lounge to invite the emperor to participate in the ceremony.
Zhu Jingyuan accepted their common worship, and then took them to another hall to invite the Supreme Emperor Zhu Jianyan and the Supreme Emperor Zhu Zhongliang.
After the three generations of emperors converged, they took the prince, Jiuqing, scholars, military ministers, shopkeepers, scholars, and craftsmen to the second platform of the foundation of Sheji.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the commander-in-chief of the parade, the governor of the Chinese army, Yang Yuchun, dressed in uniform and came to Zhu Jingyuan in high spirits.
Yang Yuchun thumped his chest and saluted vigorously and reported loudly:
"Your Majesty! On the second day of the first month of the first year of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Army, Air Force, Marine Guards and Naval Aviation were ready for parade, please instruct! โ
Zhu Jingyuan's expression was serious, but with obvious appreciation and expectation, he took a special token from Zhu Zhaoxie, the Minister of Military Aircraft who accompanied him.
Yang Yuchun stretched his hands forward and spread his palms upward.
Zhu Jingyuan put the token in Yang Yuchun's palm with his own hand, and at the same time said a direct order:
"Start the marching exercise."
Yang Yuchun held the token with both hands and responded loudly:
"Order!"
Yang Yuchun stood up straight, saluted Zhu Jingyuan again, then turned around and strode away from the scene.
Soon, the sound of a loud radio echoed throughout the audience.
At the same time as announcing the official start of the parade, the situation and sequence of the troops under review began to be introduced.
Everyone at the scene, including Zhu Jingyuan himself, was now in good spirits and turned their faces to look at the east of the square.
However, the vast majority of ordinary people instinctively look at the ground.
Only Zhu Jingyuan and the people who actually participated in the planning of the military parade looked directly into the sky.
Although it was indeed the army that was the first to move, the first team to appear in the square was the fastest air force fighter.
However, other ordinary people also quickly realized this.
The sound of the aircraft engine, as well as the presentation on the radio, made it clear to them what was going on.
Not long after the announcement, groups of single-engine propeller fighters appeared in the eastern sky.
When some people subconsciously want to count, they quickly find that the width and length of the fleet of these planes are a little too large.
By the time the first planes arrived directly above the plaza, spectators still had no sign of the end of the fleet.
The fleet seems to have started from where it appeared and stretched all the way to the top of the square.
Like a river of airplanes.
The audience below was stunned one after another as the river flowed.
The kings of various countries, including William III and Nicholas, and the generals of Nelson and Gneisenau, all had their necks stiffened unconsciously.
Almost everyone is thinking in their hearts, and they are also guessing and imagining:
"How many planes are there?"
"How many planes did Da Ming prepare for the parade?"
The radio in the square answered their questions very well:
"The Daming Air Force and the Daming Naval Aviation Unit have dispatched a total of 10,000 fixed-wing aircraft of various types for review.
"All the planes will continue to pass over Sheji Square at roughly similar speeds......
"The first thing you see is the single-engine fighter fleet of the Air Force......"
At this time, the audience, who had been sluggish for a long time, finally got a chance to vent their emotions.
The overwhelming cheers of the people of Daming quickly resounded throughout the audience.
